A secure and quality-aware prototypical architecture for the Internet of Things

The increasing diffusion of services enabled by Internet of Things (IoT) technologies raises several risks associated to security and data quality. Together with the high number of heterogeneous interconnected devices, this creates scalability issues, thereby calling for a flexible middleware platform able to deal with both security threats and data quality issues in a dynamic IoT environment. In this paper a lightweight and cross-domain prototype of a distributed architecture for IoT is presented, providing minimum data caching functionality and in-memory data processing. A number of supporting algorithms for the assessment of data quality and security are presented and discussed. In the presented system, users can request services on the basis of a publish/subscribe mechanism, data from IoT devices being filtered according to users requirements in terms of security and quality. The prototype is validated in an experimental setting characterized by the usage of real-time open data feeds presenting different levels of reliability, quality and security.     

一种新柱式

文章介绍了在计算机的帮助下产生的一种全新的柱式。它基于一种基本的折叠手法,其结果所呈现的极其丰富的细节超越了传统cAD工具能够绘制的极限,也超越了肉眼所能观察的极限。这些出乎意料的形式与极其微小的细节来自计算机程序的反复迭代,它们超出了建筑师的经验、教育和历史认知,无论从手法还是结果来看,都是一种彻底的创新。文章还指出,建造如此复杂的细节需要现代化的数字加工技术与独特的加工技巧。     

Highly durable,Pt free and large-area Ni–B film synthesized by SILAR as a bifunctional electrode for electrochemical water splitting

A search for efficient, durable, large-area, and economic catalyst material for low-cost production of hydrogen and oxygen is currently a high priority in the field of electrocatalysis (EC). In view of this, a cost-effective, earth abundant, highly stable, Pt free, and large-area (8 cm × 8 cm) bifunctional Ni–B electrocatalyst is reported via simple and economic SILAR method. A highly porous surface of Ni–B film with high surface wettability indicated better electrochemical water-splitting properties for the films and is obtained at 100 cycles. A Low over-potential value to obtain HER (49 mV) and OER (340 mV) at 10 mA/cm² current suggested that they are comparable to the well-known Pt and RuO electrodes in alkaline medium (1M KOH), respectively. In actual water-splitting setup having Ni–B film (as cathode) and stainless steel (as anode), the hydrogen production of 612 ml/h is obtained at constant potential, which was enhanced by 18% i.e., 726 ml/h when a Ni–B film as both cathode and anode electrode was used. Both the electrodes are highly stable for over 15 days and interestingly they showed 7% increment in the EC performance.     

纯粹几何·古典精神——从格拉斯舒特住宅到三号住宅

对于大多数中国人来讲，奥斯瓦尔德·马蒂亚斯·翁格斯这个名字并不为人熟知，但在德国和欧洲地区，他是德国战后最重要的建筑师，也是德国新理性主义思潮的领军人物。其多产的一生为世人留下了大量伟大的建筑作品，他的创作思想深深影响了一大批欧洲建筑师。翁格斯的大多喜欢运用立方体等几何形体作为造型语汇，作品强调基于数字比例的严谨秩序，追求简化到极致的纯净形式，他的几所自宅尤其是后来的格拉斯舒特住宅和三号住宅都是他个人设计思想的最好体现。文章通过对格拉斯舒特住宅及三号住宅的对比分析，阐述了翁格斯追求纯粹几何形体的造型手法以及基于严谨数字比例的生成机制，探讨了背后蕴含的场所意义以及原型思想和古典精神。     

文胸原型结构分析

在对国内外现有文胸原型的绘制方法收集、比较的基础上,通过整理归类,将其归纳为定数法、公式与定数结合法、立体与平面结合法3种方法,并系统分析了这3种方法的特点和优劣,认为现有文胸原型存在着胸省量缺乏依据,重要部分规格未体现,胸高点位置不合理,肩带位置设计区域没有涉及,罩杯的容量与乳房的体积关系未涉及等问题;并提出了文胸原型结构设计需要避免上述这5类缺点,确保对人群的适用性,便于测量、绘制和使用,并能根据人体美和功能的要求进行理想化的绘制。     

Compressive properties and energy absorption of aluminum foams with modified cellular geometry

This study presents experimental results on the behavior of aluminum alloy metal foams with controlled pore morphology in compression. Two types of metal foams were analyzed, having uniform cell structure and with a dual-size cell arrangement seeking optimized mechanical properties. The structures were manufactured by lost-wax casting using 3D printed components for internal structure definition. Results for stiffness and energy absorption were obtained and compared on weight efficiency basis. The results are indicative of higher efficiency of the dual-size structures that may be considered for use in components subjected to impact or compression loading.     

Development and performance test of a miniature movable mixed-refrigerant liquid nitrogen generator

In order to cover long-term but small quantity liquid nitrogen requirements of laboratory or field users, a miniature movable mixed-refrigerant liquid nitrogen generator (MRLN) was developed and tested here, based on a precooled mixed-refrigerant J-T (MRJT) refrigerator. With the full air-cooled, skid-mounted structure, this MRLN was built utilizing off-the-shelf refrigeration components like commercial single-stage oil-lubricated compressors to reduce construction cost greatly. Bottled pure N₂, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) unit and mini cryogenic rectification column could be employed to supply N₂ in different operation modes respectively. In pure N₂ mode, N₂ was directly liquefied by the MRJT refrigerator. With feed N₂ at 0.8 MPa, the specific power consumption (SPC) was 1.79 kWh L⁻¹, and figure of merit (FOM) was 6.27%. The estimated SPC in PSA mode was 2.68 kWh L⁻¹. For column mode, the SPC was 4.59 kWh L⁻¹, with FOM of 3.38%. A closed N₂ cycle could convey cooling capacity between flammable refrigerant and air. This MRLN could be a convenient and low-costing choice for some liquid nitrogen users.
